Improving Our Nation Through Better Design

AI Summary: This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order establishing a new national design initiative called "America by Design". This regulation establishes a new National Design Studio (NDS) within the White House to improve the visual presentation and usability of federal services in both digital and physical spaces. The initiative will create a new Chief Design Officer position responsible for recruiting top creative talent, coordinating with government agencies, and developing innovative design solutions. Agency heads are required to consult with the Chief Design Officer to improve websites and physical sites that significantly impact Americans' daily lives, with an initial deadline of July 4, 2026. The initiative aims to update the United States Web Design System, ensure compliance with existing digital experience laws, and recruit design experts from the private sector to serve in government. The National Design Studio is established as a temporary organization that will operate for three years, with the broader goal of creating more efficient, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing government services and interfaces.
